In the Garden

Just like my Mama, gardening is my way to enjoy and beautify the outdoors. In fact, I have been maintaining a pocket garden in my apartment. But with very limited outdoor space here in Manila, it has always been difficult to grow nutritious fruits and organic vegetables. (sigh)

 

The garden or patio is indeed my favorite outdoor area. It is a great place to enjoy my solitude. Its soothing sound of gently flowing waterfalls creates a conducive study environment. My eyes just take pleasure in the sight of lovely flowers. The luscious aroma of plants is like a sweet smell of success and the birds singing sounds are like gentle lullabies. Let me share with you the hymn that plays in my heart whenever I’m in the garden:

            

IN THE GARDEN
(written by C. Austin Miles)

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The son of God discloses
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet that the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
